    The patio was lovely at Christmastime this year. Poinsettias growing in the garden around the giant tree (magnolia I think), and the heaters made it nice and warm. Outside is usually quieter; we had a table of 20 out there while we were eating, but it wasn't bad; inside it would have been awful to sit next to a rowdy bunch of ladies, but this was actually not too loud. Food as always was delicious. Veal piccata, papperdalle with shrimp, and cavatappi, all served hot and tasty.

    One of the best Italian restaurants in the La Jolla area. The staff and the server are professional and friendly. It’s also very cozy and romantic. But it’s family oriented as well. The food is delicious!

    The bolognese sauce, was too tangy and not cooked down to a true bolognese. Been ordering it there for many years. Something changed, don’t like. Sorry.

    We were expecting a very good meal based on reviews , but we ended up being disappointed. Our pastas were low on flavor and the Brussels sprouts were mushy. It was very mediocre and we won’t be back.
